Child friendly cities: good governance in the best interests of the child

Eliana Riggio

UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre, Florence, Italy, eriggio{at}unicef.org

This paper describes the features that make a city "child friendly", and the legal, institutional, budgetary and planning measures needed to underpin them. It explains how the concept of child friendly cities developed, and its key role in ensuring the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in each city. The principles and practices of a child friendly city are illustrated by examples from Spain, the Occupied Territories of Palestine, Croatia, Ecuador, Brazil, India, Bangladesh, Sweden, Lebanon, Albania and the Ukraine.
